Man, 30, found dead after 8-hour wait in Bronx emergency room for rash
He walked into the Saint Barnabas Hospital emergency room complaining of a rash — and never made it out.
Instead, 30-year-old John Verrier was found dead in the waiting room eight hours after he arrived.
“He was found stiff, blue and cold,” a hospital worker told Eyewitness News. “He was there for a while.” “No one should sit in a waiting room that long,” Verrier’s anguished mother, Susan, told Eyewitness News.
The ill-fated man had received brief attention. His vitals were taken andhe was told to wait inside the packed waiting area, the staffer said.
Verrier’s family only learned the details of his demise after a report ran on Eyewitness News.
